An Update to the Benchmark Hunting article in the Premier Issue

The Benchmark Hunting Section (www.geocaching.com/mark) of the GC.com website has been significantly upgraded. Check it out, this is what cache pages will look like in the near future. Now, a benchmark search will show all recorded benchmarks in the area, including ones presumed destroyed. The ones that used to be marked with a skull are now marked with a "?" (These are the ones that have been presumed destroyed by the NGS). Other helpful icons are now in use too, and are described at the bottom of the screen. When the entire GC.com site is moved over to its new codebase, we should also be able to "watch" benchmarks, add new benchmarks to the database, get benchmark pocket queries, and there will be a benchmark tab at the left side of the main screen, with all of the other ones. The benchmark database will also be updated soon, with more recent NGS data.

Thanks Jeremy Irish!!!

For those who can't wait & want benchmark pocket queries now, e-mail us and we'll tell you how to do it!!! You don't even have to be a premium member at GC.com.
